An image processing device for realizing more realistic pictures of explosions in video game devices and the like. Objects displaying such pictures of explosions are formed of spherical polygons (R, R, R, . . . ) and planar polygons (S, S, S, . . . ). Pictures of explosions are realized by alternately arranging these spherical polygons and planar polygons with the lapse in time. Preferably, pictures of polygons are realized by arranging the spherical polygons in layers on the boundary of the planar polygons.

Image processing device and information recording medium

An image processing device for realizing more realistic pictures of explosions in video game devices as well as other devices. Objects displaying such pictures of explosions are formed of spherical polygons (R, R, R, . . . ) and planar polygons (S, S, S, . . . ). Pictures of explosions are realized by alternately arranging these spherical polygons and planar polygons with the lapse in time. Preferably, pictures of polygons are realized by arranging the spherical polygons in layers on the boundary of the planar polygons.

In an image processing device composed such that it can display a prescribed object while changing the shape of said object, there is provided a first memory for recording information for first polygons which form the object; a second memory for recording information for second polygons, which form the object and are linked to the first polygons; and when the shape of the object is changed, the shapes of said second polygons are changed such that no gaps are produced between the first polygons and the second polygons. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a more realistic object representation, with the joint regions moving in a natural manner.

Objects displaying such pictures of explosions are formed of spherical polygons (R , R , R , . . . ) and planar polygons (S , S , S , . . . ). Pictures of explosions are realized by alternately arranging these spherical polygons and planar polygons with the lapse in time.

In an image processing device composed such that it can display a prescribed object whilst changing the shape of the object. Furthermore, the image processing device includes a first memory for recording information for first polygons which form the object; a second memory for recording information for second polygons that form the object and are linked to the first polygons; and when the shape of the object is changed, the shapes of the second polygons are changed such that no gaps are produced between the first polygons and the second polygons. Using computer graphics in a video game it is possible to achieve a more realistic object representation, wherein joint regions move in a natural manner.

Image generating device, method thereof, game device and storage medium

There is provided a game system in which a virtual object such as a car is moved in virtual surroundings on a screen of a display. The system comprises an input device for providing from a player operating information concerning an expected motion of the object and an element for simulating the motion of the object in response to the provided information and in consideration of interaction forces between the object and the surroundings. The interaction forces are operated at least two positions of the object. The simulated results of the object Is displayed on the screen of the display.
